Blue Lights viewers are demanding a fifth series of the BBC police drama after series four came to an end on BBC One on Tuesday, November 3. The finale, which followed six explosive episodes, saw the aftermath of the explosion at Katie's house, the release of Gerry's evidence on state collusion, and the confirmation of Blackthorn's closure as the team made plans for their future at new stations. Grace also accepted a marriage proposal from Stevie.
Viewers Call for More Episodes
As the credits rolled, fans took to X, formerly Twitter, to issue a demand for a fifth series, which has yet to be confirmed by the broadcaster. One viewer said: "I sincerely hope for more series of #BlueLights." Another commented: "I will sign any petition to keep #BlueLights on air. It's the best show on tv."
Another added: "Hoping the storyline with station closure doesn't mean end of #BlueLights." One fan wrote: "Hearing this is probably the last series I'm gutted. I would literally pay to get more #BlueLights." A further comment read: "I really hope we get another series of #BlueLights but I've read this could be the last one."
Praise for the Finale
One fan hailed the drama "remarkable," saying: "With all the British based cop dramas, finding a fitting end is tough but for the first time, a drama delivers 4 seasons and closes everyone's arc in the finale. It's superb! Even a tear and I'm not even mad about it! What a show!"
Another viewer posted: "Series 4 of 'Blue Lights' is done now and just as good as the ones before it. A top shelf production and always has a good storyline. Couldn't put the TV remote away." A further comment read: "@BBC My life is empty, I just watched the final two episodes of the gritty police drama on @BBCiPlayer last night as I couldn't wait until next week to watch the final episode. Some great storylines and characters. We need more like this on TV."
Many who binged the series on BBC iPlayer shared similar sentiments, with one concluding: "Watched the final episode a day early and it was magnificent." Another viewer simply stated: "I'm going miss this show and these characters so much."
Series Overview
BBC previously teased the synopsis: "Three years into their jobs as response officers, Constables Grace Ellis, Tommy Foster, and Annie Conlon are operating at their limit, facing a new threat on the streets that the police can barely control. Meanwhile, the murder trial of Gerry Cliff exposes a dangerous and long-buried secret that leads to chaos both inside the police and across the criminal underworld. As they grapple with big decisions about their future, Grace, Tommy, and Annie must find the courage to face the greatest threat they have ever encountered: the truth."
Blue Lights is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
